NEW DERMAL ANESTHETICS

Not Available A computational framework is needed that can provide ground-fixed, ground-mobile, and air target endgame analyses in a single program. Currently, each class of targets has one or more analysis codes that are used to perform endgame analyses. This framework is needed to assess the lethality and effectiveness of weapons throughout the lifetime of the weapon system. The framework needs to support physics-based models and accept test data. Endgame analyses are also used to provide results for higher level modeling and simulation but are run off-line. The computational framework should be able to directly connect to DoD Modeling and Simulation tools through a High Level Architecture (HLA) interface. This phase I effort will determine feasibility of the framework and software and hardware requirements for the framework by evaluating the existing endgame analysis codes. A Verification, Validation, and Accreditation plan for the computational framework will be developed. Existing architectures will be evaluated and if none meet the requirements, when an innovative design for the framework will be developed and demonstrated through a simple prototype. Common elements between the endgame analyses will be identified. During the Phase II effort, the framework will be implemented and tested.
